Began the task of converting the "G" K-Frame to my "L" body.
If you're following this thread, do the underside reinforcements I've added appear sufficient?
The initial welds
(I had moved around a bit to avoid over heating any one area; laying a bunch of 1" beads).
This is the top-side, and I didn't add additional braces to this side, only the underside.
The braces I used already had 1/4" holes in them; I opened them more for plug welding(kinda):
Used similar braces for the final pieces on the ends(top and bottom)
Then I made the bobble strut bracket from 1/4", and wleded it in place
I also ran a bead across the front of the frame on either side to join the layers of material
Now, just to re-install the R/F frame mount "tower",
and I'll be good to go!
